I’ve realized something about myself in 2013– I don’t wear belts. I don’t know what it is, but I simply don’t wear them. Luckily for me, I saw this\u00a0DIY belt bracelet<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0tutorial from Henry Happened and fell in love with the idea. I grabbed my multi-colored belt that was hiding in the back of my closet, and transformed it into a belt bracelet. If you are like me and you don’t wear belts, or you just have one that doesn’t fit anymore, upcycle it into something awesome!<\/p>\n

What You Will Need:<\/h3>\n

1. An old belt<\/p>\n

2. Scissors<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Recycled felt<\/a>\u00a0that coordinates in color with your belt<\/p>\n

4. Hot glue\/hot glue gun<\/p>\n

5. Black permanent marker<\/p>\n

How To Do It:<\/h3>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

1. Put your belt on your wrist, just like you would put it around your waist. With a permanent marker, mark where you would like your bracelet to end (picture a).<\/p>\n

2. Cut off the excess part of the belt (picture b).<\/p>\n

3. If you’re using a normal solid belt, you can simply cut off the end and make a new hole for the belt buckle using a hammer and nail. My belt was braided, so my steps might be a little different than yours. Originally I thought I could burn the ends of the belt together to keep it from fraying, but it didn’t work\u00a0(and made my kitchen smell bad)<\/em>. I improvised by hot gluing a small piece of felt to the end of the belt (picture c).<\/p>\n

Put the belt back on and it has magically transformed into a bracelet! I love the chunky look of the belt buckle and all of the different colors of the belt. If you have a plain belt, you could sew vintage or\u00a0handmade buttons<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0on it like this\u00a0button cuff<\/a><\/strong>! \u00a0If you have a thinner belt, try wrapping the belt around your wrist multiple times like this\u00a0DIY leather belt bracelet<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from By Wilma. There are so many DIY fashion possibilities!<\/p>\n
